This video was just released of the show. Two of the Articulation artists, Lesley Turner and Ingrid Lincoln, that were present at the opening to talk about the exhibit.
I have 10 pieces of art on exhibit, three of which are shown here. I must make the correction that the materials for first piece "Arbutus" are 'hand dyed cotton', and not the 'cardboard' that is shown on the label!
Enjoy!

Current Exhibition
Here is the official notice for the show that opens tomorrow. If you happen to be in the Victoria area, pop in and see the 60 pieces of art.
I will be there from September 4th through the closing on the 10th on doing workshops, tours, and demos.
NARRATIVE ARTICULATIONS is a show of cross-Canada work by nine Canadian contemporary textile artists, all City and Guilds of London Institute trained. Each year the group, Articulation, goes to a special place in Canada to do a study together, then they return to their respective studios across Canada to produce a body of work based on the study. The next year they exhibit the work. Articulation has had two residencies at the Banff Center, Banff, Alberta. They are currently working on a body of work to be exhibited in the Whyte Museum, Banff, in September 2011.

Summer, where have you gone?!?
Hard to believe my last post was in June - but that is what happens when summer rolls in. I didn't even finish talking about our wonderful the trip to Italy, as we headed east to Venice then south along the coast to visit friends in Fano. A lovely country and both of us are anxious to go back and spend more time there exploring different regions.
As soon as I returned home from Europe, I headed off to Victoria on Vancouver Island with 5 of my closest friends. This was our fourth year of gathering for art, food, and great company! This year I drove out with ND, so got to extend the travel time by four extra days - road trip!
ocean fun!
Spent an afternoon at Frenchs Beach and made temporary beach art - my contribution:
Returned back to Calgary for a visit from my cousin down in Portland. She came up for an art class that we took together - here are some of my decorated pages that became a book.
We also managed to squeeze in a trip to the mountains - Lake Louise and Moraine Lake (the only sunny spots in southern Alberta that day!)
the Valley of the Ten Peaks seen on back of the old Canadian twenty dollar bill
Another highlight of her time here was I finally got to take in MARKET COLLECTIVE art sale that happens sporadically in the old Ant Hill retail space in Kensington. It is mainly filled with recent ACAD grads (photography, drawing, textiles) plus musicians and cooks who are discovering how hard the artist life is! I got this lovely little mug there.
And then it was the yearly 4-day weekend spent on Prince's Island Park jamming with ~50 neighbours at the Calgary Folk Festival.
Here are shots of CAT EMPIRE from Australia.
and Alberta's own IAN TYSON.
Then it was time spent at the cabin, with the dog loving her swims in the Bow River...
the prairie vistas driving to and from...
and treasures left behind from a friend who visited when we weren't there...
